I meant on the Harwich - Hook run. The cats were too fast for
overnight.

I hadn't realised they did not do night ferries on your root too.
We were introduced to Irish breakfasts on the route out of 'Dun Leary' -
don't expect me to spell it (8-)#

Yes - that was 8 pints. By the end of the evening Stuart was fully

Great - looking forward to it, even though I might Ryanair it. I will
check the baggage limits.......
Mind you, you must remember my baggage problems at London City prior to
